Is this something that is wanted?

Hey internet, 

So I have been living with Type 1 Diabetes for 25 years and it has been a rollercoaster (but we wont get into this here). 

I have come out on top of this, but when I was struggling (and when I still do) I found a lot other diabetics being really “inspiration porny” and overly positive (if that makes sense) about it.  I also found that people shared an unrealistic and dramatized version of what living with diabetes is like.  I didn’t really resonate with this and found myself really disconnected from the diabetic world as a result. 

I am now in a place where I can share what I have been through and my realistic (and hopefully humorous yet useful) experiences as someone who hates regular exercise, thinks dieting is stupid and is a frequent speaker of the phrase “oh sh*t I forgot my insulin”).

Is this a thing that the internet is interested in reading?

"Xiaoyu ... just remember, you mean everything to me. No matter what anyone else may believe." - Jin <3

Xiao loved getting these little notes from Jin. She'd smile and hug the paper close to her chest, specifically near her heart.

"Thank you, Jin..you're amazing and I just love you so much~"

Pls can someone explain

On work days, I could eat a horse

On weekends, I could just have 1 toast

And it's definitely not because I use my brain at work

Hi.

Hey

Hi there.

It's your friendly neighborhood gremlin. Popping in to say hello.

Couple life updates:

Diagnosed with diabetes. (Beetus). The last couple months have been managing that.

Had a loss in the family that we're still in shock over.

Work is going great. I'm tapped for leadership and am getting training.

Got a couple tattoos.

Cut my own bangs. Contemplating going red again.

Rediscovered my love of reading.

80% done with my first novel, which is a collection of spicy shorts.

Started poking at fanfic again.

Austin Butler and Lewis Pullman own my ass.

I miss y'all

Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus

Apparently I need even more projects this year. So I started super deformed chibi-Primarchs on a whim.

But they are not that time-consuming, especially easy to colour. And it's fun. Who doesn't like cutsey versions of Avatars of war and conquest?

First up: Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus. Because I aditionally decided to draw them in matching pairs. This of course does present some problems. Most of them have a clear counterpart, but others are just like groundskeeper Willy explaining Scots. Or are way too "whatever" to have that one special Nemesis/Bestie.

Well, let's see how it goes. I'm already 12/18(19) in, but won't post them all at once to prevent the beetus.

Controversial opinion: Being sick is not a good time

Hey y'all! Haven't really been around too much. I've been sick for the past week-and-change, (probably the 'VID or a sinus infection) (I didn't bother getting tested because I go literally nowhere and my partner, who does go places, tested negative).

Basically, I imagined Teen Lou and Esme cheering me on whenever I did Olympic-level feats like showering or making myself tea.

If for some reason you wanna know more, here's a cut because I suck at being pithy.

My body's response to getting sick is basically 1) whine so, so much and 2) sleep for 17 hours a day until conditions improve. Fortunately, my partner is very much a caretaker at heart and ensured I was fed and that the dogs were looked after. Oh, did I mention school started this past Monday? So yeah I haven't been online much.

On top of all that, my mom was hospitalized. I was on the phone with her wife every day and long story short, it was a combination of getting bronchitis and pneumonia at once, a blood clot in her liver KIDNEY, being on too high of a dose of 'beetus meds, and also being allergic to one of the antibiotics they put her on. Oh, and she has Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, which means they had to pay extra attention to her heart so she wouldn't have to get a 3rd ablation.

So, when I was online, it was on FB to let people know what was going on with my mom. FB is basically the equivalent of a mass text to everyone I know and I otherwise don't really get on it. ANYWAYS.

The #1 fear in my life, that I have had since I was a wee little kid, is my mother's untimely demise. She's been sick a lot throughout my life despite being a tough ol' broad who is the real-life inspiration for Destiny Child's "Survivor."

Which is to say that on top of being physically worn down, I have been endlessly emotionally exhausted as well. Like every update from my step-mom/mom's wife about her hospital stay would end in me crying and freaking out, having super vivid dreams about having to plan my mom's funeral (THANKS BUT NO THANKS NYQUIL, YOU NASTY YET SUCCESSFULLY CONGESTION-KILLING BITCH).

I have been playing Sims 4 still, but not the Orson's because I cannot be trusted when goofed up on cold meds. I've been playing a very casual game that sort of started off as a 100 Baby Challenge with Wicked Whims turned waaaaay up, but is now the story of 7 sisters who have the same mom but different dads.

I might show some pictures from that because some of those kids turned out hella cute and interesting. Plus I was needing a bit of a break from the Orsons anyways.

That's all! I'm feeling like 75% human these days so I'll likely be on a bit more, but mainly just wanted people to know that I didn't die or rage quit or anything.

To whom it may concern (beetus friends):

ChocZero is a LIE. They use a type of soluble corn fiber that you body digests as a starch, but the FDA allows them to list as fiber. I was SO EXCITED to have marshmallows for the first time in like 10 years and got a 150 point glucose spike for it.

Very cool to market your product as diabetic and keto friendly, ChocZero. Have fun killing people you assholes
